A very dear college friend has discovered the world of art journaling. {Yay! LA} And she jumped into the deep end of the pool by creating a facebook group that gives weekly prompts. She’s asked me to help administrate, which I am joyfully doing! This past week’s prompt {and the first of this journey that she and I are sharing} is the word, MOVE.
I had a decorated page with no text that was waiting at the very end of my current journal, so I used it. {since today is Saturday and LA is giving us a new prompt tomorrow.}
The written text reads as follows:
“I am a thinker and a planner. I like to UNDERSTAND before I take Action.
just MOVE ——->
sometimes I will think and plan AND NEVER START.
I don’t like mistakes and seemingly perfect people really freak me out. Which is all a jumble of the same idea.
Nothing will ever be PERFECT.
{Detail added to background word PLAY: On a side note, I forget to play.}
Materials: Background painted with Delta craft paint color Territorial Beige, layered with Windsor & Newton Cotman Water Colours and Staedtler Watercolor Crayons. {the black circles are from the bottom of the watercolor crayon twisted dry onto wet paper.} Grey circles are from the dirty water swirled around on the page. The green collage element is torn from a yoga magazine and glued in with matte Mod Podge. The gold is tissue paper. {Even though it’s matte sealer, the page is still shiny and hard to photograph…} Pens used: ZIG Opaque Writer in white and a Pilot G2 {0.38}
